Tips & Tricks
1

Created this new n8n custom node for AWS S3.

Node: AWS S3 Custom

Main Differences from the Inbuilt S3 Node

  1. AWS SDK for JavaScript v3: This custom version utilizes the newly released AWS SDK for JavaScript version 3. AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 offers several advantages including modular architecture, improved performance, and better support for modern JavaScript features.

  2. Credential Input and Bindings: Unlike the built-in S3 node which strict on using credential store, this custom version allows for dynamically assigning credentials. Users can supply their AWS credentials as input parameters/bindings, allowing credentials to be retrieved dynamically from previous nodes or external secret stores. This enhances the usability and security of the integration, especially in scenarios where credentials need to be rotated frequently or sourced from external systems.

Operations Supported as of now:

  • Download File: Allows downloading a file from an AWS S3 bucket.
  • Upload File: Allows uploading a file to an AWS S3 bucket.
  • Copy File: Copies a file from one location to another within the same bucket or across different buckets.
  • Move File: Moves a file from one location to another within the same bucket or across different buckets.
